20. Yes, it's horrifying. But it could all stop if Russia would withdraw. It is on them. They crossed the line in the sand

Asking Ukraine to give up only to be fully conquered within a year is not acceptable. Ukraine is not threatening Russia's existence. It is defending it's own. It is their young men and their choice to defend themselves. Besides, why does it matter that Russia has the "most" nuclear weapons? That is old 20th century cold war thinking. India and Pakistan could just as much set off a devastating nuclear war as Russia and Ukraine.
